Nice list of stuff, especially for people relatively new to command line stuff<p>there's a cool twitter account called "Command Line Magic" (<a href="https://twitter.com/climagic" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/climagic</a>) that does some fun stuff, and is pretty shell-agnostic.<p>Also, for those willing to, I'd strongly suggest checking out fish. it's not bash-compatible, but there's a lot of good usability aspects to it (especially compared to vanilla bash), I love it.<p>Out of curiosity though, this command :
tar zxvf package.tar.gz -C new_dir<p>it's always intrigued me that the tar command (I imagine it is mainly used to "unzip" things) does not make it very simple to do this. I've started to memorize the 4-letter combo but for a while I had to google it everytime (man pages are not useful for learning things for a lot of unix cl tools).
